Seville and Palos de la Frontera – Let's Discover Columbus' Footsteps

Seville in Spain played an important role for Christopher Columbus and his journey that changed the world: He was looking for a way to Asia but found America. We’re following in his footsteps: from the majestic Seville Cathedral via the royal palace in Seville to an archive with original documents from the Columbus era. We also visit the place where he first set sail - Palos de las Frontera. And we ask: Who was Columbus – brave explorer or brutal conqueror? 00:00 Palos de la Frontera 00:51 Quick preview 01:14 Seville and Seville Cathedral 01:40 Alcázar of Seville palace 02:22 Who was Christopher Columbus?
